Daniel 2 Part 2
As far as the Roman Empire is concerned, as we look at history, we can see that both the United Stage and Two Division Stage has already occurred. Prior to the division of the Roman Empire into an east and a west, it was a united empire. However, though some believe that the “ten division stage” (ten toes), has already occurred in history, in my opinion and that of other conservative biblical scholars, it has not yet appeared. In essence, we are still waiting for that empire to position itself on the world’s scene. As we’ve noted numerous times previously, we believe that this is what is in process right now through various efforts of globalists who march to Satan’s drum beat. Text in Revelation 13:1-2 informs us of this coming “ten toes” (or in Revelation, ten kings/crowns/horns, as its the same thing).

Book of Daniel: Introduction
One of the main purposes of Daniel is to give hope to Israel. Because of their constant rebellion and backslidden condition, many devout Jews were tempted to think God had abandoned them. Daniel’s purpose in writing blended the two themes of prophecy and right living from the heart. Daniel wrote first to show God’s future program for the nation of Israel (in light of her rebellious nature), during and after what is known as “the times of the Gentiles.”

Revelation 21 and 22
In Revelation 22:20-21, Jesus reminds us He is “coming quickly” and because of that, we should always be ready for His return enough to say, “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” God’s grace is forever with us as His children in this life and throughout eternity. The last word of Revelation (and in essence, the entire Bible), is “Amen” – “so be it!”

Revelation 18 – 20
Think of the fact that the world will have lived through absolute righteousness with the world being somewhat rebuilt and food tasting as it’s never tasted before. Though there will be plenty of resurrected people who no longer have a sin nature, people who are born during the Millennial Kingdom will still be born with sin natures and will still need to come to repentance and receive salvation in Jesus. It seems that there will be multitudes who live as they’re supposed to live during this 1,000 years, but do so because of outward pressures to do so. It won’t come from their hearts. This proves that the heart of man is desperately wicked and can only be changed by God’s grace.
Lessons from a Pup
I personally believe God created animals that humans ultimately domesticated and became pets to enhance our lives. I know some folks are not animal lovers. To each their own, but I believe they’re missing some wonderful blessings. Since adopting Scooby, we’ve learned a lot about him as he’s acclimating himself to us and us to him. I’m not sure what he went through for the first five months of his life before we adopted him, but I’m thinking not much of it was good at all except for the boy in his life and possibly the grandmother.
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 5
Bottom line for me is that Christians today will very likely feel the uptick of “persecution.” Here in the USA, that means as we stand against LGBTQ+ we will be demonized for it. As we resist the wave of Marxism in all its tenets (i.e. Critical Race Theory), as it tries sweeping across our communities, we will experience the wrath of the Left increasingly. We can somewhat guard against that if we are further away from the larger cities, but it will still likely find us where we live. We will also likely have to deal with more health “pandemics” with officials issuing more health mandates to gain more control of society. You need to decide now how you will react to those mandates.
Revelation 18 Part 3
Revelation 18 and 19 teach us because God is holy, righteous, perfect in judgment, the world will reap the consequences of their sin and denial of God. As Christians, we need to practice living lives that reflect our fear of offending God, the only wise God, the only God. We must design our lives so that our love for God and our growing fear of offending Him by sinning would take over our lives allowing us to live the way He wants us to live, so that He and He alone is glorified. We must decrease and He must increase. We cannot love or fear offending Him enough in this life. We can simply submit to Him and endeavor to live the way He would have us live.
News and Notes for June 12, 2023
Daily, I read of folks – young, old and very young – who are simply dying. The response from medical community is “Gee, we are simply baffled.” Mark my words folks. When the numbers of sudden deaths increase to the point where they won’t be able to hide it any longer, they will use those numbers to scare society into believing that another “pandemic” is upon us. They will turn a deaf ear to anyone who asks about whether or not the excess deaths are representative of the vaxxed or unvaxxed communities. In fact, those folks who dare ask that question will be emotionally and verbally eviscerated into silence and then censored and banned. There are things you are not allowed to ask today.
Burning It Down with Lies
People are walking through life blind to what Satan is creating and we know his house is built on lies because that’s his native tongue (John 8:44). I guess this should not surprise me, but it still does. According to Scripture, there will come a time in global society where the world will become one ideologically and religiously, which means a cooperative global turning away from God and His truth to deliberately embrace satanic error (2 Thess 2:11; 2 Timothy 4:3).
Rethinking Revelation 6 Part 2
All of the above takes time. It cannot occur in one event on the timeline. I don’t know where we are in the process because I cannot see behind the scenes in the spiritual realm and no one else can either. Like everyone else, we are left to try to look at conditions in the world and determine if the Bible speaks to those things. Beyond this, I don’t even know if Antichrist has been born yet because I have no idea who he is though I believe he has but in this case, belief is not fact. If he has, then we are somewhere on that timeline above. But again, the question is what exactly does the first seal reference?
